The vampire diaries essays

The return shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to fans considering that Dobrev’s character wasn’t killed off, but instead, Elena has been resting peacefully in a magic-induced coma thanks to the work of Kai. Furthermore, Vampire Diaries showrunner Julie Plec has always said that Dobrev’s return was part of the plan. Back in 2015, Plec told EW , “Nina has always said that if there’s something for her to do in the series finale that she will be there to do it. When she left, she said, ‘I want to see this character to its end at the end of the show, so I can’t wait to come back and put her to bed again.'”
